[EAN: 9780099547389], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Arrow 2009 Paperback], FICTION, Movie tie in edition of the much loved The boys are back in town, first published in 2000 Before my wife - my late wife - Susie got ill, she used to say that a tidy house created a force field. Susie's housekeeping was a way of surrounding her family. Her presence was everywhere - in the drifting scent of Givenchy from the bedroom, or rosemary from the kitchen, or that lemon-scented cleaning agent coming from the bathroom. 'We miss that. Now that she's gone we live in a very different world. We are a father and two sons living in a household without women . . . We are very widely experienced in the world where boys sit on the carpet gaping at the television like cultish prisoners. We've known Sunday nights when you can't see the carpet for video boxes, takeaway packaging, clothes, plastic games, cats, goggles, guns, popcorn, plates, cutlery, papers, paintbrushes, cushions, soft toys, comics, newspapers, dart-launchers, picture books, colouring sheets, crayons, lego, and game CDs called Living Dead, Crypt, and Resident Evil 2 where innocent bystanders are eaten alive by hungry zombies.' The account of this all-male family experience is, by turns, funny, tender, anarchic, moving and very instructive about how three males of different ages and character learn from each other about how to live their lives. 240 pages, Books<

[EAN: 9780099547389], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.06], [PU: Cornerstone, United Kingdom, London], SIMON CARR THE BOYS ARE BACK, When Simon Carr's wife, Susie, tragically loses her battle with cancer, Simon is left to raise his five-year-old son, Alexander, on his own. Soon after, his eleven-year-old son from a previous marriage, Hugo, comes to live with them too. All too quickly, plumped-up cushions, crisp beds and a drifting scent of rosemary from the kitchen are replaced with a floor piled high with video-games, Lego (R) and comics. While visiting mothers deem his parenting 'semi-feral', Simon dryly retorts that his methods are simply 'free-range'.In this new all-male partnership, Simon faces the challenges of parenthood unaided, as father and sons alike learn to become a family again. Carr's emotionally honest, compellingly anarchic and sharply comic story of a single parent's struggle is at once heartbreaking and wonderfully life-affirming. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
